Good morning. I have a test CGI script to create and debug SFTP connections. It runs on a Windows host. Briefly, it looks like:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

use CGI;
use Net::SFTP;

my $host = '<remote host>';
my $login = '<username>';
my $password = '<password>';
my $port = <remote port>;

. . .

my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host,
   user => $login,
   password => $password,
   debug => 1,
   ssh_args => port => $port
);

When I attempt to run the script for one particular remote host it appears as if the script successfully connects but then:
   snapple: sftp: Sending SSH2_FXP_INIT
   Use of uninitialized value in numeric gt (>) at D:/Perl/site/lib/Net/SSH/Perl/Channel.pm line 82.
   Use of uninitialized value in pack at D:/Perl/site/lib/Net/SSH/Perl/Buffer.pm line 105.
   Connection closed at D:\Web\NPG\admin\cgi-bin\NetSFTPTest.pl line 24

Is anyone familiar with this? Any ideas on where to look or what to change?

Thanks in advance.
